APAC North is already announced as per the start of the year announcement by Riot. APAC will be divided into two: APAC North (JP, KR, and CN potentially) and APAC South (SA, OCE, SEA.) Each LCQ will grant one slot.
This is old news but I think valorant will get approved in 2-3 months here. Maybe it will get approved early but for now only very few people know about this game.
Japanese enjoyer's thoughts:
If only other Japanese orgs will finally realize that they need to create teams without foreign players to make good communication, structure and discipline like zeta, then they will have a good chance vs kr teams
